Research

AC covered a wide range of subjects in the fields of structural and materials mechanics, with particular reference to theoretical and computational problems relevant to non-linear material responses. Along his career, AC has mainly contributed to the fields of: elasto-plasticity, advanced and composite materials, parameters and models identification, microsystems, metamaterials, deep and reinforcement learning applied to materials and structures. The main scientific results may be schematically divided in ten main subjects:
i) Shakedown and a priori bounds in elasto-plastic dynamics.
ii) Static and dynamic step by step elasto-plastic analysis.
iii) Effects of material instability on the structural response.
iv) Models and methodologies in ductile fracture.
v) Damage phenomena in composite materials and interface models.
vi) Models and methodologies in brittle and quasi-brittle fracture.
vii) Parameter identification of constitutive models.
viii) Reliability, multi-physics problems and design of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS).
ix) Mechanical metamaterials.
x) Structural Health Monitoring through deep-learning.
